Sadly, it makes our country look like any other third-world dictatorship where there are portraits of the leader lording over everyone all day long. Even Reagan (who the left called "King") wasn't this overexposed! It all boils down to one thing: BRAINWASHING! Well, this brain ain't being washed...

That's what I get for rushing so late at night... I scanned the headline and read it as "Obama Defecation Syndrome" -- which, actually, I understood. Every time I hear him, I feel like I want to $4!t. I am very sorry, that's very rude. But I have noticed that I go through mental Tourette's when I hear him talk.

Impeach for Peace researched a method for impeaching a President, Vice President, or any other power abusing federal official using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson’s Manual"). This document actually empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves.

"Jefferson's Manual" is an interpretive guide to parliamentary procedure, and is included (along with the Constitution) in the bound volumes of the Rules of the House of Representatives. It is ratified by each congress (including the current one), and has been updated continuously through the history of our democracy. The section covering impeachment lists the acceptable vehicles for bringing impeachment motions to the floor of the House.

Before the House Judiciary Committee can put together the Articles of Impeachment, someone must initiate the impeachment procedure. Most often, this occurs when members of the House pass a resolution. Another method outlined in the manual, however, is for individual citizens to submit a memorial for impeachment.

After learning this information, Minnesotan and Impeach for Peace cofounder (Jodin Morey) found precedent in an 1826 memorial by Luke Edward Lawless which had been successful in initiating the impeachment of Federal Judge James H. Peck. Impeach for Peace then used this as a template for their "Do-It-Yourself Impeachment." Now any citizen can download the DIY Impeachment Memorial and submit it, making it possible for Americans to do what our representatives have been unwilling to do.
